my 3 and a half month old only naps for 35-45mins to a time, she goes down easy enough (and sleep wonderful almost all night from 7-7 ) but wakes up after that time and will NOT go back to sleep nomatter what I try.....wouldnt be a big deal but about half hour before she due to eat she want to nap again in my arms.....pretty sure I made this bad habit a part of her schedule but am no realizing I need to fix it....any suggestions???

Some kids are just cat nappers. My son never napped longer than 45 minutes at a time ('normal' was about 20 minutes) until he was down to one nap a day. Then his naps lasted anywhere from as short as 5 minutes to as long as 3.5 hours.
